The brisk wind whipped leaves around my ankles as I pushed open the door of a small Italian cafe. Inside the aromas of garlic and yeast mingled with sugar and coffee, brought on a strange sensation of both exhilaration and ease.

I swept my disheveled hair out of my face, sat down at a table, and focused on the deli case. What would it be today? Panini? A cannoli? Thumbprint cookies maybe?

Then I saw something that captured my attention. A loaf, of sorts, obviously stuffed with filling. But this was no pastry or hand pie. This was enormous and inviting with a hearty crust. Just the kind of thing to nosh on a chilly day.

I walked up to the counter and waited my turn. When asked what I would like to order I answered, “May I ask what that is?”

“Strrrom-bo-li.”

“What is inside of it?”

“Everrrrything wonderful” she replied.

That was all I needed to know. I bought the entire Stromboli loaf, ate two warm slices there in the cafe, then took the rest home to share with my roommates. Thus begun my love-affair with Stromboli.

Luckily, it doesn’t have to be 20 degrees outside to enjoy a hearty Stromboli Recipe. This classic stromboli recipe makes a large golden loaf that is perfect to take on picnics or to a party.

It’s like a savory cinnamon roll….an inverted pizza…a slice of pure heaven! This looks awesome! I’ve never tried stomboli and didn’t really know what it was until just know. What a loaf of deliciousness!

Great looking stromboli. I need to try making one again. The last time Alexis made it too long, not taking into consideration the size of the baking stone for her Big Green Egg. We ended up with a horseshoe shaped stromboli, ha ha. Still tasted good. Definitely need to add the artichoke hearts to ours, great idea! Have a great weekend!
